Is the muzzle flash as bad in person as it is in the video? Doesn't look like you would be able to get a follow up shot for several seconds.
I think it is beneficial to use a suppressor for this reason.

Exactly...no way for a follow up...it was that bad. I think with a can there is no whiteout. Matter of fact after the shot you see im pointed down on the ground...I thought that was still smoke because there was little wind. Then I got my bearings and found the pig.
Its hard to look through it for long times at night. Your looking at a TV 3" from your eye in the dark. So I would look and scan then rest my head on my hand with my eyes closed listening. They had 3 coons at the stand (have vid) for a while. So I would look and see coons and put my head down...repeat for a while. Then one time I looked and it was just 4 pigs. I really would like a set of binoculars for general scanning with out the bulk of the gun. ATN makes some too for around the same as this scope.

Appreciate the thread. I too was looking at this sight too...well...NV v.s. Thermal in General, but kept finding myself at this ATN.
And I want one for your exact reasons - hog hunting. Really, just hunting and shooting anything at night. We have a few beavers that I'd like to have some fun with.
Your pictures and video make me less apprehensive on buying one. I'll definitely be picking one up, along with some binoculars to scan with.
Question: Did you use your kill light for that hog? Or was that moon light only?

I had the kill light on but it was kinda low. With out a light it was black. I have some vids of me turning it on and off in the field too. Just need some time to get it all together. The screen also darkened up in the beginning of the vid....not sure why. There are some things I need to figure out if glitches or settings. If I take a pic the screen washes out after. It could very well be something I am doing...learning curve. But as I have said for this kind of hunting for 500 its really fun. And can use in the day time...I have vids I think of that too.

You ended up mounting it to your AR10?
Posted on 3/14/17 at 6:24 am to lsugerberbaby
Yes a sig 716

Awesome thread. I'll be buying one soon. All the recording and trajectory calculation is nice I wouldn't mind paying less and leaving that out.

Yea it has some bells and whistles that I might not be so interested in...but is what it is. Been busy ill pull the other vids soon tho. But for 500$ if your hunting at night on a jo blow 100yard feeder setup is 100% going to work. Now it has its little bigs here and there. Like when I take a pic the screen gets washed out. I dont know if thats some auto setting or a bug...I am apart of the FB group and will ask when I get time.
There is a sightmark photon xt that gets good reviews and might be a little less but I am not sure you can use that one in the day? I love the recording and the fact I can use in the daytime too.
